Bayfront Road/Thursday Market

We drove the beautiful bayfront road out to Toledo to meet Alyce for breakfast at Sassafras Sue's and stroll through Toledo's Thursday Market.

 

 

Lovely views along the way.

 

Yummy biscuits and gravy at Sassafras Sue's. 

The market was great and just the right size for us!  I got a cool tie dyed shirt from Family Ties  http://www.newportfarmersmarket.org/vendor-detail.php?vendor=74

We also found a really cool pet shop with some very rare and unusual animals.


Next, Jansen and I headed in the the marine science center on the bay while Mom and Alyce headed to Nye Beach.


I love the marine science center.

Jansen built a town.....

then destroyed it....

Sea Otters are endangered due to over hunting (as is always the sad-but-true-case).  But we had never felt the pelt of a sea otter before.  It was amazing.  It has the densest fur of any animal on earth!  We discussed if anyone would notice if it was stuffed under my shirt as I made a run for the door.......

Jansen made a friend.
